Operation Scotland II

Operation Scotland II was a US Marine Corps military operation of the Vietnam War which lasted from 15 April 1968 to 28 February 1969.

On 15 April 1968, following the relief of Khe Sanh, the Marines sought out North Vietnamese PAVN forces on the Khe Sanh plateau in the western third of Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. After nearly a year of military operations, during which time numerous US generals stepped up to command the efforts, the US claimed to be in total control of Quang Tri Province, having suffered 435 soldiers killed in action, while claiming to have killed 3,304 NVA troops.
